Buildup (
Summary[]
In the home of the Hestia Familia, Bell was training by performing various exercises. Once he finished he headed off to train with Ais but was knocked out several times by her and received a lap pillow every time he passed out. After waking up he asked Ais if he was actually getting better since he had been knocked out several times, though Ais confirmed that he was, noting he only got knocked out because she couldn't control her strength. As she did so she thought about how amazing his growth was but that he was still not fit to be an adventurer, as he lacked the necessary mindset to be one, which only made his rapid growth even more amazing.
She decided to ask him how he had become so strong to which he replied by telling her that it was because there was a person he wanted to reach. Ais thought she also had a similar desire. After that Ais yawned and told Bell that they would take a nap as training for when he had to sleep in the dungeon. He asked her if she was sleepy but she insisted it was training and he finally relented. Once she fell asleep Ais dreamed of her mother and her father, the dream soon changed to a battlefield where her father walked away from her, leaving her alone. Likewise, her mother was taken away from her. Ais advanced towards her while telling her to wait for her and promised her that she would definitely go for her.
Freya watched their training and was pleased that she was helping him improve. However, she considered it a problem that they were so close, so she decided to send Ais a warning. Later, after finishing their training and meeting Hestia, Bell's Goddess, they were ambushed by Cat Person who tried to attack Bell, but Ais defended him and started fighting the stranger. Four Pallums joined him and the five began to fight Ais while another group faced Bell. Even though they were wearing visors to hide their identities, she was able to tell them apart as Vana Freya and Bringar of the Freya Familia due to their ability. The Cat Person told her not to go against that person's will and told her to go die during the Loki Familia expedition. They left after seeing Bell's Firebolt saying that person would be happy about it.
After they left Bell commented that it was strange that they had been attacked but Ais told him that surprise attacks were common though not so much outside the dungeon. Deducing that it had something to do with something she had been doing, Ais decided to be careful to avoid further trouble.
In the Room of Prayer, Ouranos and Fels discussed the information they had gathered mentioning that both the Creatures and Evilus were using each other to destroy Orario. Ouranos brought up the subject of Enyo commenting that it was not the name of any God and rather meant "city destroyer" in the language of the Gods, concluding that the key to all the incidents lay on the 59th Floor.
